I have to jump in here. I will bet that the problem is not with `custom-background-mode' guessing incorrectly. I used to see the exact same problem myself, and I had a black (#000000) background. Some of the default colors for `dark' are thoroughly unreadable on a black background. I guess that one day, I will succumb to the inevitable and actually create a .custom.el file (or wherever it saves its information). Until then, I continue to have X resources for faces, and the following lines in my .gnus.el: (make-face 'gnus-header-content-face) (make-face 'gnus-header-from-face) (make-face 'gnus-header-name-face) (make-face 'gnus-header-newsgroups-face) (make-face 'gnus-header-subject-face) Rich, you may want to try this yourself (unless you just don't like colors). -- Colin
